I PRESENT: A REVIEW COMPRISED ENTIRELY OF GIFSThis is how I feel. I would like to do this to Beth Revis.This is what it's going to be like waiting for SHADES OF EARTH.When SHADES OF EARTH comes out, I'll be like this.Until SHADES OF EARTH comes out...

Actual rating: 3.5 starsI've been really eager to read A Million Suns for a while now. I'm a Sci-Fi geek and I'm not afraid to admit that.  (Hear that, Kennedy?! I'm owning that!) So I think, in a way, I am prone to getting swept away with this series. And just as with Across the Universe, I was immediately sucked into the story, walking around my house with my face glued to the book, sitting on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the mysteries surrounding Godspeed. Because if there is one

'' Silence... and stars'' It's actually a big accomplishment for me, that I have finally picked this up. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the first one, but for some unknown reason I never continued on. Until now. And that's all because of my besties, who forced me to ! :P And I'm so glad she did. I freakin' loved the second installment. It was so much better than the first one!The story itself is something I enjoy more than the characters. I like Elder, and I actually love Amy, even though

2.5 starsAmy and Elder are adjusting to their new lives onboard Godspeed. With the death of Eldest, Elder has now taken the reigns and assumed leadership. Elder's decision to stop using Phydus - the drug that calms people down and makes them subservient - has awoken the people onborad on Godspeed. People have stopped working, resources are running low, there's violence, death and chaos. Elder spends much of his time trying to maintain order, keep the peace and diminish the flames of rebellion.

It's been a while since I finished Across the Universe and gave it a mostly positive review. Since then, I have changed a lot, read many more books, and my expectations and standards have become higher. As more and more time has been put between my finishing Across the Universe and starting A Million Suns, I've been wondering if I would be quite so forgiving of some of the issues I had in the first book if I were to read it again now. You see, despite the pretty sparkly covers, it is the cha

One way to describe this book: forgettable. I think the story would have been way better if first two books were combined into one standalone novel and the third would have been cut out altogether. Only then do we get a complete story, with some character development and something that resembles a plot. I don't understand the need to stretch out a story over several different books just for the sake of having a trilogy. There is no trilogy material here. Why, Beth Revis, why?

"And here we are, in the middle, surrounded by a sea of stars.A million stars." What an intriguing story.. in a way, even intriguingly sad.This book finds us right where the first one left us. Somewhere between Sol-Earth and Centauri-Earth, suspended in time and space.There is no more Phydus to control the people around the ship and they are quite out of control. People don’t work, people start to fight, they suffer from depression.They start having feelings, they start thinking for themselve...

What I love the most about this book is the idea of it. Frozen people being transported to another planet, while others live on a spaceship and make sure it reaches the destination. I avoid sci-fi sometimes because I feel like they're dry, but this trilogy is not. I read Across the Universe a long time ago and dived in this book with only remembering the main plot and while I did enjoy it, I had many inconsistent thoughts about it. I'm not going into details since it's better to read this book n...

Luthe and Orion here they come!!!From http://www.bethrevis.com/Q: Can you tell us anything about the sequels? Beth Revis: I can say this much about Book 2: It’s called A MILLION SUNS It takes place soon after ACROSS THE UNIVERSE It does still focus on Amy & Elder -ENDNice detail about the book isn't it? lolI LOVE THE TITLE thought!

Definitely better than the first book. Now that I know what to expect, this was fine. The writing and characters felt stronger than before, although I've been listening to this series on audiobook and the narrators were different so that could very well be due to them as opposed to the writing - I have a hard time separate writing from narration.The story itself was more interesting to me as well. This book had more of a mystery to solve with clues to follow. I enjoyed that aspect, but I did fee...

3.5 stars**Note: Review contains spoilers for Across the Universe**If you’ve read Across the Universe, you’ll be familiar with its intense and chilling first chapter – a powerful piece of writing that opened this YA sci-fi trilogy with a bang. While I enjoyed Across the Universe, for me, that claustrophobic induction into Amy’s point of view was its highest point. That said, I wanted to see where Revis was going to take the story next. Having left her characters and the Godspeed in something of

4.5 stars

Your universe changed with book one.Your heart stopped with book two.And now, it's time to go home.The journey is just beginning...Silence and Stars.A million things, a thousands feelings, hundreds of experiences, all melted together and sculpted into a book-shaped vessel.The people are finally off Phydus, and now, the ship's in chaos.Elder is now Eldest, the burden of responsibility weighed heavily on his shoulders.Riots and the uprising of people. Rebellion. Fighting. Depression. Death.Eldest

Holy shit. I love this series SO MUCH. Gonna start book three immediately bc I NEED TO OKAY.

I can't wait to read about Elder taking the role of The Eldest,and ohhh man! I don't think they should relax with Orion still alive,and that Luthe guy has to be watched closely.______________________“Will you stay with me?” I whisper. “Always.”Elder & Amy ♥

OH...MY...GOSH. This book...you guys... I am over the top excited to be able to review this book. I had no idea it would be heading to me in the mail, and when I got a package from Razorbill, I made myself SWEAR not to get too excited as I opened up the envelope. But there it was. A shiny, brand new copy of Across the Universe's sequel, for me, who probably tormented Beth Revis by sending her so many pictures and "holy crap Beth you're amazing" tweets. This was absolutely one of my most anticipa...

"Love without choice isn't love at all." This is a great line and also befuddles me. This is how I felt about the whole book. Good and then also not making sense altogether. I love the plot of this series. Very sci-fi. I love the book world. Pretty well constructed. I love Elder. The problem: Amy. Can't stand her. She's whiny and I get why. I've read and written books with whiny characters and bitchy ones. But there has to be something redeeming about them, like that they're really funny or snar...

I just finished A MILLION SUNS on the plane from Boston to Portland and I wish there was more! Very much looking forward to the next and final book in the trilogy. Beth is awesome and her books are too. Love the slang! This book is so brilly!
